Two days after Liu Mingzhi ordered Song Qing to go to the Ministry of Literature and Art, all Dalong soldiers and horses returned to the city to garrison.
This move made Wanyan Chiezha and his generals a little puzzled. They didn't know what Liu Mingzhi wanted to do. Wanyan Chiezha, who should have been taking the initiative these days, was instead made a little fussy by Young Master Liu, and everyone was at a loss.
For these juniors who are constantly using "evil and evil" methods, Wanyan Chizha has lost his temper.
Even though Young Master Liu was only two years old when he first came into being, his methods of tormenting people were not as good as those of his old opponents like Yunyang. After serving in the army for decades, Wanyan Chizha had never felt so exhausted.
Wanyan Chizha, who had no idea what Liu Mingzhi was up to, did not dare to act rashly, for fear that Young Master Liu would trick him again.
Wanyan Chizha was not afraid of a head-on confrontation with Liu Mingzhi, but he was afraid of Young Master Liu's methods that he had never seen before.
As a result, Yingzhou, which was constantly fighting, was rarely quiet for two days. One of them retreated to the city, and the other did not dare to attack.
It wasn't until Wanyan Chizha received the letter from the Queen that he finally realized why Young Master Liu, who had been so eager to leave the city for a decisive battle, was so anxious to retreat to the city.
More than 400,000 Turkic cavalry rushed towards the two cities of Yingzhou and Jeju.
If it had been placed a few days ago, Wanyan Chizha would have definitely regarded this as great news. After all, the arrival of Huyan Yunyao, a naturally handsome man, meant that the Longmen Formation that Liu Mingzhi had troubled him for many days would no longer be a problem.
Moreover, there are 400,000 Turkic cavalry as reinforcements. If you want to capture Yingzhou, the two cities of Jeju will be easy to achieve.
However, Turkic reinforcements came, and so did Dalong's reinforcements.
The 420,000 reinforcements from the Western Regions were shocking news for Wanyan Chizha, a veteran of the battlefield.
"Damn it, damn it, I knew it wasn't that simple. Sure enough, Liu Mingzhi, the bastard, had been prepared for it a long time ago!"
"With the 420,000 reinforcements, if Dalong's recruits are added to it, Dalong can have an army of one million. Even all of our Dajin troops and the Turks' more than 400,000 cavalry troops can't compare to them.
There are many soldiers and horses."
"How could I have forgotten everything about the soldiers of the Western Region Protectorate and the other countries in the Western Region!"
"Damn it, I hate it!"
All the generals under Wanyan Chizha were as silent as a cicada and did not dare to say a word as they looked at Wanyan Chizha going into a rage and tearing the letter into pieces.
I originally thought that the delay in the arrival of 300,000 dragon recruits to the northern frontier was a blessing for the Kingdom of Jin. However, I did not expect that the news that the 300,000 dragon recruits had not been able to rejoice for two days was even more troublesome than the 300,000 dragon recruits.
coming.
Three hundred thousand, four hundred and twenty thousand.
New recruits, elite army.
Everyone knows what kind of opponent it is more advantageous to fight.
Wanyan Chizha took a few deep breaths to calm down the anger in his heart and glanced at everyone coldly.
"Tell me what we should do next."
"Once Dalong's troops and horses are completely reunited, Dalong's elite division alone can number up to one million people, not counting the government soldiers and various miscellaneous troops and horses. The troops and horses we can use now are only eighty
He looks like he’s in his prime!”
"The difference in strength is not too big, but this is Dalong's home court, and our unfavorable situation has lost 30% of our geographical advantage!"
"This means that we have lost 40% of our chances of winning before the war begins!"
"Can any of you tell me how to fight the next battle? How to win?"
Everyone stared at each other, no one dared to say a word, not even Yelumo, a guy who always asked Wanyan Chizha for orders to break the formation, did not dare to speak.
The 420,000 reinforcements gave everyone a head-on blow.
No one dares to speak first. The burden on speaking at this time is not ordinary.
Every word is related to the life and death of the 400,000 brothers in the Jin Kingdom. Who dares to speak rashly.
Wanyan Chizha looked at Mucha: "Mucha, tell me what you think first!"
Mucha was stunned. After hesitating for a while, he still didn't dare to say what he wanted: "Commander, I am incompetent. I really don't know how to deal with the crisis facing this trip south."
"But don't worry, commander. As long as the commander gives orders, the general will end up with Da Long even if he fights to the death!"
Wanyan Chizha silently glanced at Mucha and shook his head without getting angry: "Yinian Zhi, what about you? Do you have any good suggestions?"
"Commander, you don't know the meager ability of the general? You can let the general charge into battle and kill the enemy bravely, but let the general make up his mind. The general really doesn't have this ability!"
"Che Muyi, you have been famous for your literary and military skills for a long time. Tell me what you mean!"
Che Muyi, a middle-aged general in his early forties, wore a simple leather armor, which was completely different from the rest of his brothers.
Looking at Marshal Wanyan's commanding gaze, Che Muyi pondered for a while and walked to the sand table.
"Commander, the Turks are all cavalry. It will take at least four days to rush from Ganzhou to Yingzhou. The Dalong reinforcements are a combination of infantry and cavalry. It will take seven days at the earliest to rush from Ganzhou.
To Yingzhou."
"As the commander-in-chief said just now, His Majesty has sent an order for Commander-in-Chief Yeruha to come from Jeju to join forces with us."
"What the general means is that when all the soldiers and horses of Dajin gather together, plus the Turks' soldiers and horses, there will be a total of 800,000 soldiers and horses. It will be a piece of cake to capture Yingzhou City!"
"However, the general does not recommend that we directly attack the defensively strong Yingzhou. Instead, we must make other decisions to maximize our advantages."
"The attack on the city is the last resort. If I am not afraid of losing the commander's face, the general is afraid of Liu Mingzhi from the bottom of his heart. It is not because he is afraid of how powerful his troops are, but because he is afraid of the strange but powerful things he uses.
Horrible stuff!"
"It can be said that of the soldiers and horses that were damaged during our siege, not many of our brothers were actually killed in the charge. Most of them died in the hands of those weapons."
"The commander-in-chief also knows what the general is talking about, so he won't elaborate on it one by one!"
"Aren't the big dragon guards planning to take over the city? Let's drive straight into the hinterland of the big dragon, forcing them to come out and start a decisive battle with us."
"It's better for them to come out. Our 800,000 troops will fight back quickly. What can Liu Mingzhi do even if he sets up the Dragon Gate Formation? With a 140,000 formation, we 800,000 people will encircle him. No matter how powerful he is, he can only
The result of dying on the battlefield."
"In the past, Liu Mingzhi made a name for himself in the capital city of Dajin. He used 70,000 people to resist the rebels of about 400,000. But you should know the capabilities of those rebels better than anyone else."
"Our 200,000 elites can kill them and make them throw away their armor and flee in panic. It's just that they didn't dare to act rashly because of the dragon's eye. A large part of the reason why Liu Mingzhi won was because of luck!"
"In the face of our 190,000 people trying to break the formation, Liu Mingzhi is still entangled with us, let alone the 800,000 elites?"
Wanyan Chiezha rolled his eyes for a while, seeming to understand what Che Muyi meant, but Wanyan Chiezha still didn't name him, and raised his hand to signal Che Muyi to continue.
Che Muyi nodded slightly.
"Therefore, what the general means is that whether Liu Mingzhi leaves the city or not, we must continue to drive straight into the hinterland of the dragon!"
"If he goes out of the city to fight, it won't take long for us to turn around and kill them. If he doesn't go out of the city, we will still attack the city all the way to Hanzhou, Jingzhou, Guzhou and more than a dozen cities."
"With the strength of thousands of soldiers from these dozens of cities and districts, we can capture it within three days. At that time, Dalong's reinforcements just happened to rush to Yingzhou for reinforcements."
"At that time, we will turn from defense to attack, occupy the city wall and defend them in turn, taking advantage of the geographical advantage. So what if the dragon has 420,000 reinforcements. Their reinforcements are also cavalry who are not good at siege. They can really attack the city.
There are not as many infantry as our Dajin and Turkic coalition forces!"
"If we can't capture a heavily defended border city like Yingzhou, it doesn't seem to be any difficulty for us to capture a city in the hinterland that is empty of troops!"
"What should we do if they cut off our food and grass? After all, we are in their hinterland. They don't need to attack the city, but they can still drink a pot of food by surrounding us! The current food and grass is only enough to last three months, three months
What to do next?”
"Commander, when it comes to this, don't blame the general for speaking cruelly. There are 300,000 people in the fifteen cities. If they besiege and refuse to attack, and force us to run out of food and grass and leave the city for a decisive battle, these people will be
The chips in our hands."
"If you want these people to survive, give them food and grass in exchange, otherwise we will massacre the city and steal food!"
"We have all heard of Liu Mingzhi's reputation of loving the people like his own son. What's more, the 152 prefectures in the North are now his fiefdom. If Liu Mingzhi doesn't care about the lives of these 300,000 people, it will not be right in the future in Northern Xinjiang.
It should be said that there will be no place in the entire world for Liu Mingzhi to stand."
"this"
Wanyan Chizha stared at Che Muyi deeply, his face hesitant.
Mucha breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wanyan Chizha: "Commander, there has been such a big change in the plan to go south, do you want to ask His Majesty for instructions? After all, this is about my country and the country of Dajin!"
Wanyan Chizha shook his head directly: "No, I will not accept your orders. Your Majesty has said this more than once. Military affairs are changing rapidly. It is too late to rely on orders to fight a war!"
"Commander, please think about it carefully. The pros and cons must be carefully considered."
